She and Ray

I pictured my ex

With her lover today

I don't know his name

So I just call him Ray

It's silly

But it helps me deal with the angst

Of running into them

One day

He's a bit portly

And not very tall

Not really big 

And not really small

He has a wide, toothy grin

And a thick head of hair

He dyes it deep black

But I don't really care

He looks like a real life

Frito Bandito

Without the mustache 

Or the wide-brimmed sombrero

Sorry, Ray!

But that's just the way

That I picture you -

What can I say?

I imagine her now

Having fun with her Ray

She laughs at all

That he has to say

They're happy together

And it's good for me

To picture that

To get used to that

So, when I see her one day

Holding hands with her Ray

I won't be shocked

And I won't be scared

I won't be sad

'Cause I'll be prepared

To avoid a painful

And otherwise certain

Massive

Heart attack
